Up til now, we’ve had a $100 dollar “jogger” (I use the term loosely) from Target that was almost impossible for me to run with and at the very best just unenjoyable. When I would go for walks with my moms group, I was infamous for using my Graco snap ‘n go and all I ever heard was how I had to get a B.O.B.

Sure, ok. We’ll get right on that.

They’re only ____ hundreds of dollars.

I should point out that my husband and I tend to be rather frugal for lack of a nicer word.

Cheap.

For him to splurge on this incredible stroller for my birthday is a VERY BIG DEAL.

And a sure sign that he takes my running (and his new ‘like’ of running) pretty seriously…which is pretty cool.

He also gave me these to unwrap first thing yesterday morning:

New running clothes!

I have really needed some new running clothes and particularly capris pants. I won’t wear shorts, but the full length pants have started to feel insanely hot lately (it’s been in the high 80’s!). So hot that I even got out my scissors and cut a full length pair the other day to get by…so I was super excited to have an actual nice pair of running capris finally!

got me both the Kindle and the Garmin…it is way too generous…I called her right away to thank her

over and over and over again.

I was so excited that I took my new B.O.B. and my sweet girl out for a run first thing yesterday morning 🙂

so I could have a few extra calories last night!

Totally bucking tradition (which usually consisted of some type of fat and calorie laden comfort food meal plus a huge cake or cupcakes for dessert), I chose to go out for sushi.

It was still a treat because I normally just get the super healthy rolls…so I figured I would live on the edge since it was a special day…still no sashimi though.

We had:

Albacore Roll

Baked Spicy Lobster roll

And Popcorn Lobster Roll

So I am totally aware that these are not healthy rolls haha…as you can tell by the picture. Although I did try to pick a lot of the topping off of them (I’d get just a little of the saucy goodness) and eat just the roll. Underneath it was basically a spicy tuna roll, which is a healthier option when you go for sushi.

Plus, we ordered 24 rolls altogether to split and we each only had 8 total. We had half of the popcorn lobster and baked lobster rolls to bring home for Joe’s lunch today.

So it was a splurge, but not like having an enormous helping of spaghetti and meatballs or chicken and biscuits like I’m used to.

Happy Birthday yesterday 🙂 Your recap, pictures and gifts shows that you had a fabulous birthday, and don’t worry about splurging, this special occasion only comes around one day per year after all 🙂
You are going to love your new Kindle. I received from my dad for my last birthday and honestly read from it everyday! It’s so light so it’s easy to carry around and I whip it out whenever I can. Sushi is a favorite dinner of mine too, and that first roll you ordered sounds unbelievable 😀

Thanks, Jenny! I totally had to go look up what “maki” was…I’m totally new to the sushi world and for awhile would only eat California rolls haha. I’ve recently branched out to other types of rolls, but I’m still sort of a newbie!!

Happy birthday! Sounds like it was AMAZING! It is lovely when people surprise you with things you really love (and when they splurge a little). You got really great stuff — I love my Garmin 305. I get the feeling that I’m not using it to its full potential. I hope you let us know if you learn any nifty tricks!

I agree Alison! The Garmin seems like there is a lot more to it than I can see at first glance. Time for me to get out the instruction manual and start learning the ropes! I’ll let ya know if I find any cool features!

haha! That’s so funny that you were checking them out! It is actually really cool, but like my new Garmin, I feel like I need to study the instruction manual to find out about all the cool features that I’m sure I’m missing!
